Ivanpah

Ivanpah lies among the valleys and mountain ranges of the eastern Mojave Desert, where a dry lake bed spreads across the floor of the valley. The Chemehuevi lived in this desert country, gathering prickly pear, mesquite and agave and hunting deer and bighorn sheep. Trails across the Mojave linked the Colorado River with the California coast, carrying trade through a landscape where water was scarce.
